In John 14:6, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, declares “…I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” In
Acts 4:12,
the Bible teaches salvation comes by no other name than Jesus -
John 3:16.
On June 24, 2008, The Columbus Dispatch, published on the front page an
article entitled “U.S. Believers Open-Minded Most See Several Paths To Heaven”
According to a study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life 70% said that
many religions-not just their own-can lead to eternal life.
The world’s Burger King Religion (You Can Have It Your Way) will lead us to
destruction. In
Proverbs 14:12, the Word of God teaches the way that seems right
to us will destroy us –
Proverbs 16:2. The problem is we have abandoned the
Bible and God’s commandments –
Jeremiah 6:16;
Acts 17:11.
ENTER AT THE DOOR INSTEAD OF CLIMBING UP SOME OTHER WAY
Many will try to enter the sheepfold, by entering by a way God has not
authorized – John 10:1-2. You must enter the door of Jesus to be saved since, He
sacrificed His life that you might live –
John 10:7-11;
John 20:30-31.
There are two ways (2 doors) in which you can decide to enter. One way will
lead you to life and the other death. Your decision will primarily be based on
whether you’re carnally or spiritually minded –
Romans 8:5-8. In
Matthew
7:13-14, Jesus teaches many will choose the broad way of destruction, and few
will choose the narrow way to life –
Luke 13:24
and I Peter 3:20.
Religious groups and denominations are the wrong way because they replace the
Word of God with their own traditions and doctrines of men. They’re trying to
climb up into the kingdom by some other way –
Mark 7:5-13;
Matthew 7:21-23.
THE ONE WAY IS THE CHURCH JESUS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD
In John 14:6, Jesus says “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.” There is only one church, one body, that God
has called us out of darkness into the Light of Christ –
I Peter 2:9-10. The
Bible teaches the church, the body of Christ is one -
I Corinthians 12:12-14;
Ephesians 1:22-23;
Colossians 1:18.
This is the church that Jesus purchased with His own blood -
Acts 20:28. After
Peter, confesses Jesus divinity, Jesus said I will build my church –
Matthew
16:13-19. The church is Jesus Christ body where sinners can be added and
reconciled to God in one body by the cross –
Ephesians 2:13-16.
If you’ve been driving the wrong way, God wants you to turn to His Son Jesus
Christ, that has made a way for you –
John 8:36.
